World Cup – Shock As World Champions Germany Knocked Out (Video)

Shock at the World Cup this afternoon in Russia as reigning champion Germany was knocked out of the tournament after a 2-0 defeat to South Korea. To show you the significance of events, it is the first time since 1938 that Germany has not advanced to the knock-out stages of the tournament, as trainer Joachim Low’s team finished bottom of the group.

The Germans knew that as from that moment they would need a win to advance in the tournament as now both the Swedes and the Mexicans had 6 points and they only had three (from a win against Sweden last Saturday).

But as the clock advanced, the German trainer started making substitutions, entering more attackers and taking out defenders, leaving his defense wide open. Sweden meanwhile went up 3-0 against Mexico.
